About
An important part of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is the Elements theory, with the elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.
Everything that exists, physical as well as spiritual, human & nature can be qualified within these 5 elements.
Such as the seasons, parts of the day, organs, tastes, colors, directions and emotions. To balance means that your energy flows smoothly between all the elements.
Join us on a journey through the 5 elements and discover which element dominates your personality.
Are you more of a Water, Wood, Fire, Earth or Metal type?
Learn what role each element plays in energy balance, its effect on the body, emotions and thoughts and how to improve this energy balance for yourself and your students. When the energy flows smoothly with the movements you feel fit and emotionally balanced.
The 5 elements theory can give you insights for you and your students on how to become more balanced in your life.

Hellen and Jose have similar Yin backgrounds. Both started with Anat Geiger many years ago and then continued their studies with Paul and Suzee Grilley where they met. During the last joint training the plan was born to work together and create a unique deepening weekend for anyone interested in TCM & Yin Yoga.
